Eric et al,

I am a voting member of the ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) EWS (Eyewash and Shower) Product Interest Group who periodically (every 5 years) revise the ANSI/ISEA Z38.1 Standard. We will be meeting on November 18, 2019 to go over the final potential changes to the Z358.1 2019 revision.

The issue of activation and testing is frequently brought up by those who utilize the Standard.

If you have results from the D-CHAS group, I'd like to receive them before the morning of November 18, 2019 so that I can bring them to the attention of the Revision Committee.

Trying to get the best practices here.

How does your institution interpret ANSI 358.1-2014 and safety shower testing?

I know eyewash stations are 5 minutes per week.

What is the frequency you use for testing showers and the duration?

Thanks in advance.
